Dam, personally I think $649 falls a bit out of the reasonable category?

Gareth Lake

I don’t think so. Not for what’s ‘under it’s hood.’ There’s some serious hardware in this thing, and I think it’s well priced as a premium console.

Aidan

Despite a lot of anger over the price, I think it is fair. Given that it does everything the original ONE and ONE S can do, trade deals will make it easier to swallow. Afterall, I remember paying $1000 for a PS3 in 2007!

And $1000 was considerably more money in 2007 than it is today

Ben

but thats why basically 99% of people I knew went xbox that gen

Bailey Olsen

Put it in perspective
Xbox One
US: $499
AUD: $ 599
USD to AUD at the time = around $530

Xbox One X
US: $499
AU: $649
USD to AUD currently = about $660

Were getting a good deal on this. Were somehow avoiding the ‘Australian Tax’ that usually applies to consumer electronics here let alone the fact we’re actually getting it cheaper then the US.

Can I just say that this is the most reasonable comment section I have found, no one overreacting or losing their shit. Respect.

Aidan

It is refreshing hey, it is an absolute shame that people can’t appreciate new games and tech, miss the old days!
